I love the twin upholstered headboards in my guest room. Now I'm on a hunt for just the right upholstered bed and/or headboard for my bedroom too. The feel of fabric on a headboard is so cozy that I want to experience it every night. I'm keeping the bed itself neutral and adding color and pattern in details like pillows and throws. Here are a few upholstered beds and headboards that are turning my head right now. — Donna from A Perfect Gray

The bedding in that first picture is from West Elm, though it doesn't look like it's available on their website any longer. You might want to try one of the stores just in case they still have some in stock.

I love upholstered headboards but worry about keeping them clean. I just dust my wooden ones. I am not great on vacuuming and have two dogs. With fibromyalgia I have little interest in or stamina to house clean much of the time.

I would love to find the tufted headboard shown on Dear Lillie blog or shabbychicgirls. blog but these aren't available where they got theirs. Other websites that have similar ones got bad reviews. Any ideas? Just want a plain white queen size.

Personally, I would just get the headboard, not the full bed set up. It costs less and gives the effect. To me, the full bed would gather more dust and dirt and take more care. I have cats, and they would use the bed base as a scratching post too.

I wanted to show you this Queen headboard that is upholstered with a white matalasse embossed in a coral pattern. The special detail of a trough of sea shells and sea glass really puts it over the top! It retails at Details of Design in Annapolis, Md. for $1,200.00 and is absolutely beautiful.

Here is a custom headboard the we upholstered for the Master Bedroom in a high rise. We also used a matalasse coverlet with custom made pillows and shams. It helps to keep the cost down on the bedding.

Here is one of my favorite headboards! We took our cue from the oriental style nightstands when designing the shape. The cheetah fabric on the banding really set off the seagreen background of the headboard.
